> The lesson that a lot of anti-Trumpers appear to have taken away from this election is that the electoral college is bad because it lets people who don't live on the coasts have a say too.
The sarcasm in your post is, funnily enough, the opposite of the truth because they actually have MORE say than people living in coastal cities[0]
Not only that, but as populations in major cities increase, and number of electoral votes stay the same, this effect increases [1]
The "direction" Of the sarcasm is the gist of my reply.
My perception was that the parent was mocking the coastal people for complaining that other citizens have a voice. I replied that ironically non-coastal state citizens have more of a voice than coastal people
(Ed: grammar)
Isn't that one of the primary mechanisms of sarcasm?
